Chapter 578: Master Sheng is Throwing

However, it was quite difficult to hit this black eight. Regardless of the pocket that was declared, it would be difficult to make this shot.

Furthermore, there were many striped balls on the pool table. These balls blocked the path of the black eight.

This meant that it would be incredibly difficult for Jian Yiling to get the final ball in.

However, Jian Yiling pointed at a pocket. Then, she aimed and made a perfect swerve shot. She left absolutely no chance for Xing Wei and Han Mengyu.

Xing Wei opened his mouth in disbelief. He did not know what to say.

Wasnt this meant to be an opportunity for him to win against Master Sheng?

He didnt even get to play!

Xing Wei moved next to Zhai Yunsheng and started to complain: Master Sheng This isnt fair! Shes obviously a professional! However, you told us that its her first time playing!

It is, Zhai Yunsheng replied.

How is that possible? Shes so good at it already!

Its merely calculating the angle and the force of collision. She knows how to calculate and control these things.

But But Shes so steady with her hands. That steadiness and accuracy Thats not something that a new player can achieve.

She has great control over her hands, Zhai Yunsheng replied. He helped Jian Yiling explain the situation.

She was a surgeon. Hand stability and control was a requirement for her profession.

And thus, Jian Yiling was incredibly good at controlling her hand strength.

Although she only spent a little time learning the game, she could still completely dominate Xing Wei and other casual players.

Xing Wei swallowed his saliva. He was a bit skeptical of Zhai Yunshengs words.

Then, he glanced at Han Mengyu.

Upon seeing this, Han Mengyu patted Xing Wei on the shoulder. He was trying to comfort his friend.

As Jian Yiling pocketed the final ball, she had finished the entire game by herself.

Ahhh, they shouldnt have chosen to play with the easy rules! That was a complete mistake!

For the second match, Xing Wei strongly requested for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling to play a game of snooker.

Zhai Yunsheng readily agreed.

Then, Han Mengyu realized something. He dragged Xing Wei to the side and said: What sort of suggestion was that? Are you not afraid that they will argue after this game?

The game snooker relied on the players skills. Some players would intentionally set up obstacles for the other person. This would cause the other player great difficulty.

This wasnt a game that couples played Did they think that their relationship was going too well? Or did they believe that the quality of their keyboards [1]were too good?

Xing Wei paused for a moment. Then he said: Ahhh, I didnt think about that. I just wanted to know who is better at the game.

Be careful. Master Sheng might seek his revenge.

No way I just suggested it! Master Sheng agreed to it himself.

Well, I wish you the best of luck, Han Mengyu said with a smile before he returned to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

Hey! Excuse me Xing Wei started. However, Han Mengyu left before he could finish speaking.

Xing Wei gritted his teeth. He silently cursed at Han Mengyu in his heart. Didnt he get destroyed by Jian Yiling as well? Why was he just chilling by the side?

On the other hand, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling started their match already.

However, the crowd of onlookers were stunned.

It wasnt because the match was exciting. Rather, it was because Zhai Yunsheng was intentionally throwing[2]!

Typically, people set up obstacles in snooker.

However, Zhai Yunsheng cleared the path for Jian Yiling! It was as though he was worried that she would miss.

Even though Zhai Yunsheng could easily pocket a few balls, he instead aimed at a cluster of balls. He broke apart Jian Yilings balls that were clustered together.

Was this still Master Sheng?! He was acting way too differently!

And thus, he would demand for Zhai Yunsheng to pay for one of his meals in the future.

After Zhai Yunsheng briefly explained the game to her, Jian Yiling picked up the cue stick. She was ready to play.

Xing Wei glanced at Jian Yiling before he whispered to Han Mengyu: Do you think we have a chance to win against Master Sheng this time?

Hm Maybe we really do have a chance, Han Mengyu replied. However, he wasnt too certain about this.

In the past, they never won against Zhai Yunsheng. This was the case when they were racing.

This was also the case when they played billiards.

Who is starting the game? Xing Wei asked.

Let the new girl start, Han Mengyu answered. He wanted to let her have a turn. It would be difficult for her to hit the billiards after the game started. Then, Han Mengyu glanced at Zhai Yunsheng: Is this okay?

Mhmm, Zhai Yunsheng replied.

And thus, Jian Yiling started the game.

For people who played billiards for the first time, it was easy to do strange things with the cue stick. Something strange and hilarious could happen at any moment.

Xing Wei, Han Mengyu and the circle of onlookers were mentally preparing themselves.

Jian Yiling walked up to the billiard desk. She got into position to hit the billiard.

Although she did not spend much time learning how to play, Jian Yilings positioning was already quite good.

Ping

The cue stick hit the white ball. The white ball knocked into the other balls and scattered them in different directions.

Two of the solid balls fell into a pocket.

This was quite a good start.

However, this did not mean much. It was likely to just be a coincidence.

Although the girl looked soft and delicate, she hit the white ball with a lot of force.

This point by itself was already worthy of praise.

As the first ball that entered a pocket was solid, Jian Yiling aimed at another solid ball.

However, this time, Jian Yiling was aiming at a very strange angle.

The angle she was going for was a bit too far off.

It seemed impossible to pocket the ball in this way.

And thus, everyone assumed that Jian Yilings aim was completely off. There was no way that she could pull this off.

In fact, maybe she should aim for another ball.

Xing Wei turned around and whispered into Han Mengyus ear: Should we tell Master Sheng to guide her? Otherwise, she wouldnt know how to play the game at all.

Well if that happens, your plans to win against Master Sheng will go down the drain, Han Mengyu replied.

Master Sheng could finish the entire game by himself. They would only have a chance to play if he missed.

Hmm, that shouldnt be the case. Shes completely new to this game. It wouldnt matter if she managed to get a few balls in, Xing Wei replied. He wasnt ready to be petty and narrow-minded.

While the two of them were talking, Jian Yiling made her shot.

Ping

The cue stick hit the white ball. Then, the white ball collided with the solid ball.

Then, that ball hit the side before rebounding to the other side of the billiard desk. Then, it rebounded again.

Finally, it clashed with another ball next to it.

This caused the ball to roll into a pocket at a completely unexpected angle.

The ball It went in

But How was that possible?!

Was this a mere coincidence?

Or did Jian Yiling calculate this beforehand?

If so, then she had to plan all these steps inside her brain in advance. She had to calculate the angle and the force. Everything had to be perfect to achieve this.

This was something that only a professional billiard player could achieve.

The crowd was in shock and disbelief. However, at this moment, Jian Yiling already aimed for another ball.

She got the next one in as well.

After aiming again, she managed to get yet another ball in.

Xing Wei and the others were dumbfounded.

Wasnt this her first time playing?

This was her first time playing?!

How was this possible?! She was definitely lying!

Under the flabbergasted looks of the crowd, Jian Yiling managed to pocket all the solid balls. As a result, she only had the black eight left to pocket.

[1] Translator Note: Often in China, there is a joke about girlfriends telling their boyfriends to kneel on keyboards as a punishment.

[2] Translator Note: To throw in a game is to intentionally play horribly or to make actions against your own team (if in a team game), in the hopes of either making it more difficult for your team to win, or to try to make your team lose. In this situation, Zhai Yunsheng was intentionally helping Jian Yiling.
